(b) In addition thereto, there shall be deposited with the Zoning Administrator by the person requesting the hearing, an advance deposit of five hundred dollars ($500.00) to be used to cover the cost of notices, advertising the public hearing and providing a stenographic record of the hearing.
(c) Upon receipt of the advance deposit, the Zoning Administrator shall deposit the fee with the Director of Finance who shall establish a special fund with which to hold such fees until the cost of the notice, advertising and stenographer for the hearing can be determined. All expenses incurred from the notice, advertising and stenographer shall be paid from such special fund. Upon payment in full of expenses incurred, any monies remaining from the deposit shall be returned to the depositor by the Director of Finance. In the event that the amount of the deposit is insufficient to cover all expenses incurred by the City, then the Zoning Administrator shall advise the depositor of the total amount needed for such additional costs and no action taken by the Board shall be considered final until the full amount of costs have been paid.
